HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO?

My system if Final until it isn’t 

gettin there.
got my
1. endgame automatic and manual tables, denon DP-65F and rega P3.

2. endgame preamp 1 of 2, van alstine fet valve RB

3. endgame DAC, musical paradise MP-D3 mK3 deluxe

4. endgame phono, tavish adagio

5. endgame speakers 1 of 2, JBL L150

i plan to have two endgame systems, den and office, and, in addition, a rotating cast of home made characters i build, partially assembly, modify to suit, etc

my go to album for testing soundstage and bass is a cliche--pink floyd DSOTM. i use beatles taxman for digital in my office system - at  the least. when the lead vocal kicks in, it hangs in the air a foot above my head, dead center. 
 

i use black sabbath debut album; that rain sound is almost too realistic on some systems. thats good?does the very beginning of side one have me wantin to look out the window? yeah thats good. 

my brother sometimes brings over aja as a test record. thats quite a cliche. another one i use is ole coltraine. theres a lotta wacky noisemaking going on that title track. 

I'm happy with what I have (finally loaded in my profile) and can't imagine that I'd stop upgrading. It's a lot of fun buying "the next thing" used or new at a deep discount. I think I have under 15K all-in at this point. About 1/3 of retail. 

I'm mostly there, kinda-sorta maybe:

Bluesound node v3

Rega Planar 6 , Ania MC cart

Parasound JC 3+ phono pre

SW1X dac ii spx 

Odyssey Candela preamp

Odyssey Kismet mono amps

Magnepan 3.7i

It's a journey, not a destination.
